B+ overall score

Two groups had higher scores

Four groups had lower scores

How are scores calculated?

The overall score is based on the average of the scores below for species abundance, blade length, and short shoot density. Each of these three scores is based on how close the reported values are to the overall means across all groups participating in the transect training. Reported values summarized for each species across all transects that deviate largely from the mean values are given lower scores. The overall score is then ranked relative to all other groups.

Species Abundance reported (most common) Blade length reported cm (average) Short shoot density reported per m2 (average)
Transect 3 Halodule <5% (5-25%)
Thalassia <5% (<5%)
Transect 6 Halodule <5% (<5%) 15.6 (18.2) 0.3 (2)
Thalassia 76-100% (76-100%) 40.6 (33.3) 5.7 (6)
Transect 7 Halodule - (<5%)

Syringodium - (5-25%)

Transect 8 Halodule - (few)
